On deck: Angels at Dodgers, Monday, 5 p.m.

DID YOU KNOW: The Angels no-hit the Dodgers and lost on June 28, 2008. Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined for eight hitless innings at Dodger Stadium but Matt Kemp scored the only run in the fifth inning on a pair of errors, a stolen base and a sacrifice fly. That was only the fifth time in the modern era that a team lost while holding their opponent to no hits.

NUMBERS GAME: 54-38 – Angels' series lead against the Dodgers since interleague began in 1997.

THE PITCHERS

ZACK GREINKE (2-1, 3.48)

Greinke will be facing one of his former teams for the second consecutive start. He did not pitch well in Milwaukee last week, lasting just four innings at Miller Park where he was previously undefeated in 23 starts. Acquired in midseason by the Angels last July, Greinke was 6-2 with a 3.53 ERA in 13 starts.

vs. Angels: 1-4, 3.70 ERA

At Dodger Stadium: 3-0, 1.02 ERA

Loves to face: Josh Hamilton, 1 for 19 (.053), 9 strikeouts

Hates to face: Erick Aybar, 7 for 16 (.438), 4 doubles

C.J. WILSON (4-3, 3.39)

After posting a 4.30 ERA in his first five starts, Wilson has a 2.62 ERA in his last five starts. One of his issues has been efficiency with his pitches, but that could be because through most of his starts he has pitched with little margin for error. When the Angels staked him to a comfortable lead his last time out, he got through a season-high eight innings with 109 pitches.

vs. Dodgers: 0-0, 1.13

at Dodger Stadium: 0-0, 1.29

Loves to face: Mark Ellis, 2 for 17 (.118)

Hates to face: Adrian Gonzalez, 4 for 10 (.400)

LAST TIME THEY PLAYED: The Angels took four of six games against the Dodgers last season, winning two of three at Dodger Stadium (June 11-13) and Angel Stadium (June 22-24).
